Abstract

The theory of relativity leads to a relation between matter and radiant energy such that a mass m is equivalent to a quantity of energy E given by in which c is the velocity of light. According to the quantum theory a photon of wavelength λ has energy E given by

Abstract According to Planck and Einstein the energy and frequency of light are related by E = ђw. De Broglie observed that to be consistent with the theory of relativity the momentum p of a wave should be ђk where k is the wave vector of magnitude 2π /wavelength, perpendicular to the wave front. (This is because the special theory of relativity combines E and p and also ω and k into four-dimensional vectors, and linear relations between particular components force the same relations for all other components as well. This is explained in more detail in Section 17.1, which is independent of the rest of the book.)

Derivation of the Missing Equations of Special Relativity from de-Broglie’s Matter Wave Concept and the Correspondence between Them

M.O.G. Talukder, Mushfiq Ahmad

In this paper, we have considered that the particle velocity in the matter wave concept of de Broglie is relative. It reveals that matter wave associated with a moving particle is a photon wave which has longitudinal and transverse values. The conventional de-Broglie’s wavelength-momentum relation corresponds to the longitudinal wave. As a consequence, we have found the longitudinal and transverse relative values of the mass, time, length and velocity including the missing equations of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It also reveals that momentum and energy are relative quantities and the corresponding expressions for the longitudinal and transverse values for both of them have been presented. Moreover, the addition rules, with a general expression, for all the relative quantities based on Lorentz-Einstein transformation law for the addition of velocities have been given. Finally, the maximum and minimum values of the relative quantities have been expressed in terms of Plank’s constant and the speed of light. Their numerical values have also been calculated and presented in this paper.

Saeidi Quantum Acceleration: A Mechanical Reinterpretation of the Planck–de Broglie Relation

alireza saeidi

This work introduces the Saeidi Quantum Acceleration (SQA) framework as a mechanical reinterpretation of the Planck–de Broglie relation. Starting from the classical work-energy expression E = Fd = mad, the model assumes that the effective displacement associated with a quantum-scale matter-wave cycle is proportional to the de Broglie wavelength λ. By defining a wavelength-based acceleration aλ = λ/T², the SQA energy expression becomes ESQA = mλvf. Comparison with Planck’s energy relation E = hf leads to the expression h = mλv, which is consistent with the non-relativistic de Broglie relation. The paper does not claim a new numerical value or variable form of Planck’s constant. Instead, it presents h = mλv as a mechanical re-expression of the Planck–de Broglie structure, where Planck’s constant appears as an invariant product of mass, matter-wave wavelength, and velocity within the proposed SQA framework. The work further discusses quantum acceleration, frequency-induced energy changes, and the interpretation of ESQA as an effective wavelength-cycle energy rather than ordinary classical kinetic energy. This preprint is intended as a conceptual and theoretical physics contribution exploring alternative mechanical interpretations of quantum energy relations, matter-wave dynamics, and frequency-dependent energy exchange.

Classical Waves

Abstract As we initially approach quantum physics through the introduction of wave mechanics, it is useful to begin by recalling some of the standard results obtained from the study of the classical wave equation. For example, using Newton ‘s laws, one can derive the equation of motion for the transverse displacement of a small piece of a stretched one-dimensional string; we obtain the equation
